Описание: This is the audiobook version of George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four", a novel attacking totalitarianism. It is a vision of a world worse than Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia, and a world that was perhaps not so incredible to readers in 1949 at the onset of the Cold War.

Описание: At once an allegory for both utopia and totalitarianism, Animal Farm is a story that expresses a dismal view of humans and their attempts toeate a just society without compassion, history, and nonviolence. Orwell's book is decidedly anti-utopian and yet an unforgettable morality tale that entertains as it teaches.
